Help to buy isa

So I'm hoping to complete at the start of July so started looking at closing my help to buy isa. When doing so I've read that the governments 25% can only go towards completion. Now my question here is since I've got a 95% mortgage would that mean I don't get the government top up on my isa? Sorry just really really confused.
There's no chain. The house is empty (has been a rental property and been empty since the beginning of the year) I'm pushing to exchange and complete on the same day. Just wondering if I need to now find another £600 because actually I can't use that money for my deposit. My solicitor hasn't told me this and the paperwork I filled in states the isa top up as part of my planned deposit.
Honestly as a first time buyer the difference between exchange deposit and completion deposit is very confusing.
